Has anyone figured out how to install the Yamaha radiator guard? I've been to 2 shops and called Yamaha. It makes no sense, I don't even want a return now I just wanna know wtf is up with this thing?!?!?

Didn't come with any. So stupid
Hmmm, this makes me not want to buy it haha, if you do figure it out though I'd really like the info :^)
What type of packaging did it come in. Was it sealed? From a Yamaha dealership or mail order?
It's suppose to be zip-tied. What a waste of $100 lmao. Don't get this, get the T-Rex racing version for half the price and looks nicer

Zip tied?? That's nuts! Thanks for the heads up.
Dammit, I just bought the Yamaha one and it already shipped. 🤦‍♂️

BTW T-Rex is having a Labor Day sale on Monday.

So I bought both the Yamaha radiator guard and the T-Rex one. They both attach using zip-ties. The Yamaha one is larger and a thicker metal, while the T-Rex one covers a smaller area and seems much flimsier. I’ll be returning the T-Rex one needless to say. I didn’t even open it after feeling how light and fragile it felt in the package. I’d recommend the Yamaha one between the two.

That's ridiculous, I have the Yamaha one zip tied. I can't believe thats all they came up with on how to mount it ......I think the MT07 radiator actually bolts up to the R7. At least it looks like it does!

all you need are these :)

they also make stainless steel zip ties. I’d trim them obv.

Plastic zip ties is what I mostly see for radiator guards, on road, off road, wherever, they make maintenance easier and they are easy to get.
